How the Wyoming draw works
Preference/Random Split
A percentage goes to preference point holders, the rest is pure random giving everyone a chance.
75% preference / 25% random split for non-residents.
- Most tags go to higher-point applicants, but a random share keeps opportunity open.
- Lower-point applicants still have a path in random allocations.
- Plan a long-term strategy while taking yearly random chances.
